yesterday i washed the weasil corsa with a sponge, and :

Autoglym car shampoo
then dired it
then clay bar'd it
then Autoglym Superesin polish
then Autoglym Gold polish thing
then Autoglym bumper care on black bits
and Autoglym tyre shine

its looked really good, which kind of offset the pain of spending so much ££££ on cleaning stuff

i use a sponge from tesco, but its no ordinary sponge, its what tesco are calling a MAMMOTH SPONGE, works quite well but i've never tried anything else so i wouldn't really know the difference

thats what i'm fighting back against with the corrado, think its a losing battle tho

i use scratchX after washing, takes a lot of time, isn't gonna fix it overnight, just gonna keep at it till next summer, then think about getting some body work done

read into how to use it properly tho, instructions on tube are crap, also you have to get a decent applicator and remover, no point using mums old bedsheets or a t-shirt, i always thought dads old Y-fronts were best, but been told otherwise
